Gratuitous Chick Pics

Here’s a lass named Wendy Glenn, who joined some Brit soap opera or other as a youngin, and stayed on for decades:

 

She even inspired some bloke to paint a pic of her:

And I have to say that now, some decades later, she’s still quite toothsome:

Classic Beauty: Madeline Smith

Classic Beauty

Brit beauty Madeline Smith started off as a model, became an actress, starred in a few horror movies from Hammer Films, became a Bond girl and when she became a mother, more or less quit acting to look after her daughter.  And good for her.

Fortunately, there’s pictorial history, first in black-and-white (mostly from her modeling days):

…and come to think of it, we can look at her in color some other time.

What an exquisite creature.

Classic Beauty: Peggie Castle

Classic Beauty

What I find interesting about 50s actress Peggie Castle is that depending on her hair color and pose, she either looks like the girl next door, or else the girl you’re having an affair with — the latter noted by the usual suspects, who say that she was often cast as “the other woman”.  A casual scrutiny of her pics will reveal the dichotomy.

Whichever, still alluring.

Longtime Crush

Gratuitous Chick Pics

I have to admit that I’ve always enjoyed Bruce Dern’s little girl Laura in her movies.  She’s not pretty in the traditional Hollywood sense (whatever that is), but she’s rather sexy.

And I loved her in Rambling Rose:

Now, at an advanced age (for Hollywood) she gets to play with the hotties:

Laura Dern has admitted she felt ‘so lucky’ to be able to perform a racy sex scene with younger costar Liam Hemsworth in their new movie Lonely Planet.

The romantic drama, which landed on Netflix on October 11, sees Dern’s character Katherine Loewe, a successful and respected writer, travel to a Moroccan resort to finish her latest literary novel – which is where she meets Hemsworth’s character Owen Brophy.

New Wife and I watched Lonely Planet  the other night, and it was quite enjoyable despite its obvious unreality (when was a rom-com ever realistic, anyway?), because in no small part Laura’s performance made it credible.  (And the “racy sex scene”?  Compared to some of her other efforts — e.g. her bedtime activities with Nicholas Cage in Wild At Heart — it was brief, and unlikely to cause Hemsworth’s family much embarrassment.)

Anyway, here’s Laura over the years:

And she’s now 57?

Lovely.
